The forest floor was damp and cold, mirroring the hollow ache in your chest. Grief weighed heavy after witnessing Jenna’s brutal end at Klaus’s hands. You collapsed into the underbrush, tears streaming freely. Shadows shifted as a figure emerged from the gloom—Elijah Mikaelson. His suit immaculate despite the chaos, he approached with measured grace. Kneeling beside your broken form, he wrapped his arms around you, a silent sanctuary. “I’m sorry,” his voice was a low, steady rumble against your ear.
